Which mechanical gauges to pair with CTS3?

[Buck Slayer]

Alright guys, I am wanting to run a CTS 3 on a quad pillar pod (mounted in bottom most hole) with 3 mechanical gauges above it. I know this is redundant, but I just really like the look of some mechanical gauges on the pillar. In all honesty, I find the mechanical gauges much easier to read and notice problems "at a glance" than the monitor, FWIW.

Planning on running ISSPRO EV2's unless someone has a better recommendation?

Also, what would you choose to fill those 3 mechanical gauges with, knowing everything that can be monitored on the CTS 3?

Thanks!

Pyrometer, boost, and trans temp (if auto trans). Maybe oil pressure if you prefer to use MAP for boost. Cheers!

You may want to think about the logistics of monitoring the same thing with multiple gauges. Such as the pyro, for example. It may not be possible to physically mount two sensors in the prime location.

Yeah, if I ordered the EGT probe for the CTS 3 I probably wouldn't monitor that with one of the EV2's unless there was a need to run 2 and have one pre turbo and one post...

water temp because 7.3s dont have a pid for it, fuel pressure is an absolute must, boost you can pull off the monitor, as well as Pyro.

I have no setup for Pyro yet but I do have a steering column pod that I just have to mount.

Not a fan of oil pressure gauge, it's a huei so if you don't have oil psi you're not running for very long and the dummy gauge on dash actually will tell ya if you don't have low side.

I'll have to grab a less blurry photo but that's trans, fuel, boost, water and with a edge2 I believe

I’d probably throw boost in there, as the factory will only read so high, and not sure if the one does it too, but the super duty’s will go into full retard mode after seeing an overboost, and your edge reads like 6psi max or something.

My OBS acted up with anything in the high teens. I had to put a boost fooler on the map to keep it from acting up.

I know the SD dash is a little different, but can you tell if you bought the mount for the CTS 3 to go in a guage hole if it would fit in the bottom most one or would it need to go in the top?

It doesn't look like it to be honest. At least in SD
